Let's twist again......***The Dance is Done***

Any subject, any scale, just so long as it fits within the outer diameter of a CD (or DVD, or BlueRay). And some of those famous UAMF extra ninja brownie bonus points if you can match the CD/DVD with the subject of the build.

And yet more progress:
With hindsight I should have painted and decaled the lower wings before assembly and rigging.....but I'm stupid so didn't! :shock: :-D

Cheers folks!

I have now finished decalling both planes, and I'm waiting for them to settle and dry out. Then I have some touching-in to do where the decals are a bit shy in places.
Then it's onto the base and mounting for the pair

Cheers Splash; as it happens I've just finished a bit of touching in and I've even found two pilots (as was kindly pointed out earlier :-D ) to put in them.
It might have been easier to have placed them in the cockpit before buttoning up the fuselage but thankfully I had a pair of equally diminutive victims volunteers in the spares box. Both have donated their feet and elbows to medical science but otherwise the are a perfect fit :-D :-D
Piccies tomorrow :grin:

Really would love to see the in process photos of said pilots squirming their disjointed bodies into said cockpits.

Muhahaha.

I didn't realize the thread title was regarding getting the pilots into the planes.
